Two possibilities I can think of.
Firstly, it could be a paint colour code. Australian VWs were painted in Dulux colours, but that number doesn't match any original Dulux number
code (which, for ovals, were 4-digit numbers starting with 7) - see http://www.clubvw.org.au/colour_identification.htm
If not, it could be a CKD kit numbering stamp or ID-code, as your car would have been assembled in Melbourne from a German CKD kit. 12 crates of parts
provided enough parts for 8 cars. That might be a batch number of some sort, but I haven't seen one like it before.

I was hoping you'd read this post Jimby, I couldn't find your post about your two ovals!....
Do you know what the code represents?
I dont know which month mine is, but i know its around mid 55- before the 1056 changes were inplemented in 1955... I'm confusing myself now....
do you know of a table of serial numbers from which i can find out the month manufacture?
Cheers
